A top-line bass clef A is possible on a natural horn only
if the bass clef is "old notation". In old notation bass
clef it is the same note as the 2nd-space A in treble clef.
For horn in G, this sounds as the E above middle C. [...]

The question then arises, "Why not notate it in treble clef?"

A possible reason is that it is a 1st or 3rd horn part that shares a stave in the score 
with a low note from 2nd or 4th.  IIRC, that situation arises in one of Strauss's 
"Four Last Songs".
